Improve Web Installer page to be more approachable for non-technical users. #1571

Description

@sarahsquirrel

Specific suggestions:

  • Hide some of the information that will be unneeded for most users, with e.g. HTML details https://dev.to/isfotis/html-details-is-awesome-1c20
  • Preference non-technical wording, e.g. "What you need' instead of "Prerequisites"
  • Number the steps.
  • Demote the step "Working around fwupd bugs on Linux distributions" so people don't think they have to do this scary / unfamiliar sounding thing
  • Hide / remove terms that will be offputting for some users e.g. "command-line installation", or use different formatting / page layout to make it clear that these are advanced options

I'm happy to have a go at reformatting and rewording, and some other user flow / UI tweaks, especially if there's someone with deeper involvement who can answer my questions about rationale for some of the terms used.

Rationale:
The web installer is wonderful and makes the process very easy but the web page is unnecessarily off-putting
